A viewer's alternative British program would push the Centaur class to at least 30 knots, develop airborne early-warning Gannets and carrier interceptors, and extend a carrier's flight deck. The same proposal would improve escort guns, radar, and fire control while adding three-inch missiles to intercept incoming Shaddock missiles. County-class destroyers would also receive upgrades. This counterfactual treats defence against Kynda as a coordinated carrier-aircraft and escort problem rather than a search for one decisive weapon.

Countering Kynda required carrier and escort upgrades
A British counter-Kynda proposal combines faster carriers, airborne early warning, interceptors, escort fire control, and missile defence in one fleet program.
